Today after our morning walk and swim with Hera, I picked these flowers from our garden. They were so pretty and I cant resist to take couple pictures of them.
Later when having my tea and checking the internet, I came across with the words of Epicurus....How true, how wise, how simple and how we tend to forget...

When I was a kid and living in a much organic enviroment, I remember that almost all the vegetables and the fruits have their own seasons..You wait for them, you miss them and finally you savour them..The most obvious that come to my mind was tomato. I dont remember eating fresh tomatos during winter time, but when the summer comes, they were abundant with tastes and smells that are no more available in todays markets. The tomato juice thet my mom squeezed every summer morning for breakfast is unfortunately a distant memory right now.Mom is here, plenty of tomatos all year round, but looks like world has lost its connection with mother earth..
But luckly, there is still fresh almond season. I miss them, wait for them and finally savour them, always by peeling their brown skin. For breakfast its soooo delicious to dip them into honey and for evening goes soooo well with your drinks..

Slowly but surely the hottest times of the year has arrived. We are having our walks and swim very early in the morning and/or late afternoon when the sun is not burning you..We also decided to take a break from our daily trips to nearby areas until cooler weathers..Nowadays time mostly spend inside with A/C on. Life goes on like a long siesta.. As always my camera is my best toy during these long hours spend inside. I am trying to compensate the lack of scenery with my little models. Hestia is a doll, she loves cameras, follow them and always ready to serve..

However, Hera is the total opposite. She is either running away or pretending to sleep whenever I try to make her to pose for me.I probably took thousands of photos of her since she started to live with us but only a handful came out all right.

Most people come to this region for its beaches, turquoise waters or magnificent ancient ruins..However if you look something different in these HOT days, why not try to climb up a bit. 2 weeks ago we took a day trip to Dalyan. It was very hot but later we went to a restaurant at Pınarköy - Köyceğiz. The place located near to the source of Yuvarlakçay river, famous with its ice cold waters.

Trout dish was great, wine was ice cold but when it came to jumping the nearby natural pool, that was the most hubby succeeded to go in. Later we took a short boat trip at Azmak Stream near Akyaka - Gökova Bay....Sailing on its ice cold, clean waters were quite different from sailing on the Mediterranean. It was more peaceful...
